A young Calera girl was home alone one day when she heard someone ring the doorbell. Afraid to answer the door, she then heard the man go around to the back door and proceed to kick it in. Frightened, she called her mother at work, who told her to retrieve the family pistol and hide. Later, the intruder approached the upstairs closet where the youngster, who was both armed and frightened, was hiding. Seeing the doorknob turning and fearing for her life, the child fired one shot from the pistol, which both hit the home invader and put him to flight.

They had guns, but not much courage. Two armed men saw an Akron man park his car late one night and thought they had found an easy target. Putting on masks and approaching their mark, one armed bandit opened the passenger door and pointed his gun at the citizen, only to be surprised to see that the citizen was prepared to defend himself with his own legally-carried pistol. That was enough to send both would-be bad guys fleeing without a shot being fired by either side.

A 67-year-old Santa Fe man heard a loud crash in front of his house one night and went out to investigate whether his vehicle had been struck. It had, and the driver of the other vehicle was still on the scene. The resident approached the driver and told him he was calling police, whereupon the driver left his vehicle, approached the older man and slashed his face with a knife. Fortunately, the homeowner was armed, and drew a pistol from his pocket and fired one shot at his assailant, striking him in the abdomen. Though they are still investigating the incident, police say the knife-wielding attacker will face charges on his recovery from his serious injuries, and that the shooter apparently acted in self-defense.
